How did we get to 300 posts in just over one day? And that’s without any significant g(j)ibberish, no less. In fact, there is some good hockey stuff.
If anyone is skiing up in Windham this weekend, and wants to meet for a beer, let me know.

Glad to hear Wick, but if they think those guys on the 4th (and higher) were/are the best path to us being playoff competitive than god help us
I guess it’s time to name Kreider captain since they are about to trade him.

Very true.
Goes back to what coos said the other day about coaches and gms…chicken 💩 cop out moves and afraid to take chances.
when I hear it from Mckenzie and dreger, I’ll believe it.
If they are going to trade Kreider there will be a number of teams looking to land him, Gorton should have his pick of the litter!
It’s like I scored a goal in an opposing building. Crickets 🦗
I love it
Mackenzie and dreger are fluff and confirmations.
Give me this guy over them everyday
Hank says it’s a tough situation with 3 goalies but says he should only worry about the things he can control like preparing and being ready when called upon.
Hey, here’s another thing you can control, Hank. Waiving your nmc. Know what I mean?
Wow, not what I’ve observed, Wicky, not even close. You have to execute the drop, yes, but it seems to me it nearly always works. For the Rangers and their opponents at any rate–I don’t see that many other games. I’ll have to keep a better eye on it. There’s not much I could find on line other than opinion, surprisingly, in this day and age of advanced stats for everything.
Whatever I proved I’m not making it up.
Take it for what it is. I think the guy is money
It’s all good

Wow

Thanks for that pod link.
Guy sounds like he worked for the rangers PR back in the early 90s for about five years and made a few friends in the amateur scouting ranks at that time and has stayed in touch with a few of them over the years.
He’s in international business now?
You know I’m going to track this, right? 🙂
Respectfully, I’d could literally care less.
If the majority of teams in the league do it, it stands to reason that the majority of the league knows how to counter it.
It’s not new nor special. It takes away from in zone pp time and does not produce amazing pp success (again, if all teams in the nhl do it, simply look at the pp success % of all the teams in the league).
Imo it’s copy cat and ineffective once it became copy cat.
By all means though, spend as much of your free time as you want to look it up for your own benefit.
Yes, as always, you express your disinterest by posting an opinion. But please understand, Wicky, I will not be attempting to change it. To be clear, I’m not saying the drop results in more PP goals, simply easier entry (to my eye), and I’m curious to see if I’m nuts for observing what I’ve observed, which is the league barely bothers to counter it. It could be they just don’t bother to counter the Rangers. As to the copy-cat, teams do that all the time. Nothing could be more copycat, for instance, than to funnel pucks to the net, screen the goalie, and look for tips and rebounds. Everyone does it, has done it for decades, because it’s effective even though everyone knows how to counter it. Same with the drop, IMO–very occasionally (Hayes did it once as I recall) someone will try to intercept the drop, but you’d better not miss or the drop could lead to an odd-man over and above an easy setup.

WOW!!
My care less was about “tracking it” as you said you were going to do my extent of “interest” was my 5:33 post.
As I correctly summarized at the end of that post, you certainly care a lot more about this particular copy cat “phenomenon” than I ever could.
Have at it homey, research and dig away at it!
Well, I’m interested in your opinion at any rate, even if it’s almost routinely correct. Sort of the point of this place, gibberish aside. Now that I think of it, we need advanced stats on the comparative level of our gibberish.
Thanks but I’ve got nothing else to add on it.
I’m re listening to jpp’s pod link he posted to make sure I didn’t miss any of Bono’s…I mean the edge…background
